Abstract: An example electronic device includes a controller to determine a user touch detection by a power adaptor coupled to the electronic device to operate the electronic device in an AC power mode. The power adaptor may comprise a proximity sensor to detect a user touch for detachment of the power adaptor from the electronic device, and a control circuit to operate a configuration pin in a low output mode to signal user touch detection.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a trench capacitor with a trench pattern for yield improvement. The trench capacitor is on a substrate and comprises a plurality of capacitor segments. The capacitor segments extend into the substrate according to the trench pattern and are spaced with a pitch on an axis.
